Your consultations

All your consultations will take place in one of our 22 accessible private rooms, so don’t worry if you have pain when walking. During your consultations, we'll:

• Ask all about your medical history
• Say whether you need blood tests, an X-ray, and/or an MRI or CT scan so they can examine your hip in more detail
• Tell you about the different types of artificial hip joints – also called prosthetics – as well as the surgical methods
• Explain about the different anaesthetic options
• Discuss the potential risks and complications and how they may affect you
• Give you a chance to ask any questions you have about your surgery

Once you’ve decided to go ahead with hip surgery, your consultant and your physiotherapist will explain your recovery plan. Both your initial consultation and tests at this stage are charged separately to the cost of any treatment needed.

Here’s what will happen once you arrive at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital for your hip replacement operation:

• You’ll meet your surgery team and anaesthetist
• You'll have either a general anaesthetic, where you’re unconscious, or an epidural or spinal anaesthetic, where you're numb from the waist down
• If you have an epidural or spinal anaesthetic, your anaesthetist can also give you a sedative to help you relax
• Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, your surgeon will make one or more incisions in your hip, remove both the socket and the top of your thigh bone and replace them with a new artificial hip joint

If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait while you have your operation. Hip replacement operations usually take between an hour to an hour and a half.

Head to our main hip replacement surgery page for step-by-step information about the procedure.

• Chair
